Built a front wheel with XR240 rim and dynamo hub

More wheel building today (you know the drill).

Built a front wheel with a Kinlin XR240 rim and a Shimano dynamo hub.
Obviously has to be the front wheel since it's a dynamo hub.
The XR240 rim has a rim height close to the XR200,
but its weight is actually heavier than the XR300, which has a taller profile—
so as a racing component it underperforms on the height-to-weight ratio,
but you could also look at it as "heavy means durable."
